Rep. Ken Calvert has introduced the first “Great Immigration Solution” bill in the House, H.R. 251, the Legal Workforce Act. This bill would fulfill one of the Jordan Commission’s key recommendations by permanently reauthorizing E-Verify and phasing in its mandatory use.
Rep. Calvert is a stalwart champion of strengthening interior enforcement. His career in the House spans four decades and he has earned a career A+ in that category . In the 116th Congress (2019-2020), Calvert took over as the main sponsor of the Legal Workforce Act from former Rep. Lamar Smith, who was the primary champion of the Jordan Commission’s recommendations in the House following Jordan’s death, and continued to champion E-Verify throughout his long career.
Rep. McClintock (R-CA) has already added his name as a cosponsor.
